High-waisted styles look best with tucked-in tops, such as fitted vests, silk camisoles, or tucked-in blouses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure these shorts remain in excellent condition, always consult the internal care label.

For styling, these shorts fit true to size; ensure you pair them with belts that have smooth buckles to avoid catching on the delicate weave of the fabric.
